Man City captain Walker: Winning CWC? We want to make history

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker says the players know the opportunity they have before them in Jeddah.

City will meet Fluminense tomorrow night in the Club World Cup final.

Victory in Saudi Arabia would see City become the first ever English side to win the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in a single calendar year.

Walker told City's website: “When you come over here to play in these competitions, there's only a selective few players that can say that they've gone on and won this competition, especially in Europe as you have to go and win the Champions League to qualify.

“So, for us to finally tick that box off with having won the FA Cup, the Premier League and then the Champions League, this would be the icing on the cake.

“But it's going to be a tough game against a good team on Friday.

“We're concentrating on the game on Friday now and that's to make history.

“It's a competition that we've never won as players or as a club, so we'll go and [look to] tick that off and then return to the Premier League with a tough, tough game at Goodison Park against Everton.

“[We're here] to win this competition, not just coming here to, you know, play for 3rd and 4th. Now let's go and win the final and then we'll think about the Premier League."
